They arrived at the home of Delaney's Aunt and Uncle and she was surprised by how excited she was to be there.
She had been taken away from her home and brought here when she was young. Until her father died, she had kept up the hope that she would be able to go home again and so she'd been careful not to let herself see this place as home. Delaney always thought if she had accepted this place right from the start maybe things would have been different.
Uncle Felix and Aunt Flora came hurrying out to meet them when they arrived. Flora threw her arms around her niece and held her tight, tears of joy slipping over her wrinkled cheeks. Uncle Felix shook Vincent's hand, both very stiff and formal. Delaney knew her husband held no ill will towards her uncle but that didn't mean he'd forgotten everything Felix had said about why she shouldn't have had to marry him.
